| Prostitutes converging on Boston for Democratic convention |
| 2004-07-25 |
| Reuters. Link courtesy of Steve Den Beste, who notes, "Man, you just can't make up stuff like this." EFL. Security officers won't be the only professionals coming to Boston in unprecedented numbers for the Democratic National Convention. Practitioners of the world's oldest profession [Note to the euphemism-impaired: "Practitioners of the world's oldest profession" = "prostitutes." Other synonyms: strumpets, hookers, ladies of the night, streetwalkers, ladies of negotiable virtue.] are seeking reinforcements to help service some of the 35,000 visitors -- plus untold numbers of police reinforcements -- expected in the coming week when Democrats name Sen. John Kerry their presidential candidate. There's a particularly high demand for curvy, plus-sized, dark-haired girls who are willing to be called "Monica." "Every convention brings in more people, and women fly in from all over the country to work it," said Robyn Few, a prostitute on probation who runs the Sex Workers Outreach Project, an advocacy group. "There will be girls from California and from the South in Boston this week," she said. "I hope a lot of women make a lot of money and make a lot of men really happy." "Just don't get in the car with Ted Kennedy, especially if he's driving over a bridge." . . . For weeks, escort services have plastered advertisements in magazines and on the Internet asking women to work the convention. Even local strip clubs are putting out the word that more women are needed. "We are looking for more girls right now," said Frank Caswell, who runs the Foxy Lady club outside Boston. "Obviously, hospitality and beauty are expected and the girls must bring something that is enticing to see." Comment away, kids--this is too good to pass up! |

| #5 I lived in Boston for 2 years (1991/92) and was propositioned by a prostitute only once. I really don't think I'm THAT bad looking. You just can't make this stuff up. I have been watching the preliminaries to the convention of and on today on Fox and it has been extremely entertaining. I can't believe all the moonbats! I hope the GOP convention is this entertaining. |
